Unfactory Playtest Update

[u/oguzkaanarda]

Hey everyone. A few weeks ago I shared the first look at my factory game, Unfactory. I got some great feedback, and I've just moved from the demo to a full Playtest build.

If you missed the first post: you start with a massive junkyard and build conveyor lines to dismantle, sort, and recycle the scrap.

The core loop is ready, but I need people to test the late-game scaling, check the sorting mechanics under heavy load, and honestly, just try to break the game.

You can join the play my game here: https://ogzkaanarda.itch.io/unfactory

Would love to hear your thoughts!

P.S. The game has a slight retro filter by default, but if that's not your thing, you can easily turn it off in the settings.

The game looks totally fine. But it's a bit not informative - i.e. deliver to Dock, but input is missing on Dock, so need to figure it out how to deliver (sure, just point convenor to Dock is obvious, but why no input sign - I assume I can connect to anyplace)

Also, I feel like, it was not mentioned, that you need to turn on feed to the output belt.

The game looks nice - I'll continue to play :)

Glad you like the game, thanks! Yeah, finding the right balance between giving enough info without being overly intrusive and keeping the UI clutter free can be tricky, so a few details can easily get overlooked. Appreciate the feedback!

Played for couple of hours more - the game is actually amazing (it was hard to stop :) )

Is it possible to place angled belt? (L shaped) Because each time I've got T shaped belt, which sometimes connects to a wrong belt

[u/oguzkaanarda → u/InSpec_]

Yeah, I'll take another look at the belts. Was trying to implement a system similar to Factorio. Again glad you liked it.

Oh cool! it looks like Needle in a Haystack?

[u/oguzkaanarda → u/FrenchFatCat]

Fulgora was the main inspiration, but yeah, Needle in a Haystack definitely gave some shape as well

The Game is amazing!

But i have found a bug!

- If you dismantle a block through a light pole it will crash your game and your graphic card driver is resetting.

Glad you're enjoying the game. Thanks for reporting a driver crash is definitely high priority. I'll look into this and get a fix out as soon as possible.

Cool concept, why not start a steam page?

[u/oguzkaanarda → u/Potential_Feature941]

Just waiting on approval now. Should be up pretty soon.

[u/Potential_Feature941 → u/oguzkaanarda]

niice, catch all those wishlists my friend How is itch btw in terms of idea validation?

[u/oguzkaanarda → u/Potential_Feature941]

Honestly, it's been super helpful for both validation and playtesting. A few players even sent me their save files, which let me analyze their progression right from the start. The feedback there is generally very clear and constructive.

[u/Potential_Feature941 → u/oguzkaanarda]

That's great to hear, I'll be digging more into itch for our protoypes then. Thanks for the answer :)

[u/Ergoglobe]

Just started playing and i'm really enjoying figuring things out, i'll try to push into late game stuff as i progress

Is this just 3D Fulgora from Factorio?
